According to the 'Bridget Jones' star, her new features are all down to good old fashioned wholesome living - and she's over the moon that people have noticed, too .
“I’m glad folks think I look different," she told People magazine. "I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows."
Renée also described the internet buzz surrounding her new look as 'silly' and indirectly addressed those who suggested she'd had a little help.
"It seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn’t exist won’t get off my porch until I answer the door,” she said.

She added that ever since she's taken a step back from the limelight, her face looks 'peaceful' because she is looking after herself.
“My friends say that I look peaceful. I am healthy,” she added. “For a long time I wasn’t doing such a good job with that.
"I took on a schedule that is not realistically sustainable and didn’t allow for taking care of myself.
"Rather than stopping to recalibrate, I kept running until I was depleted and made bad choices about how to conceal the exhaustion. I was aware of the chaos and finally chose different things.
"People don't know me [as] healthy for a while. "Perhaps I look different. Who doesn't as they get older? But I am different. I'm happy."
So there you have it, if you want to change your face, take a break.
